MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru,
Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in
South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the
GRB180703A (Poolakkil et al., GCN Circ #22896) 17 sec after notice time
and 576 sec after trigger time at
2018-07-03 21:11:17 UT. On our first (120s exposure) set we not found
optical transient within FERMI error-box (ra=349.946 dec=-65.5794 r=1.62)
brighter then 18.0.
MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru,
Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in
South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the
GRB180703A (Racusin et al., GCN Circ #22883) 14961 sec after trigger time
at 2018-07-04 01:11:02 UT . On our first (180s exposure) set we do not
found optical transients within LAT error-box (ra=6.54 dec=-67.09
r=0.3) brighter then 18.3.
The observations made on zenit distance = 44 degrees, galaxy latitude b =
-50 degree.
The moon (72 % bright part) is 55 degrees above the horizon. The distance
between moon and object is 60
The sun altitude is -55.4 degree.
The object can be observed till sunrise at 2018-07-04 05:38:26
MASTER-OAFA robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru,
Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L) located in
Argentina (OAFA observatory of San Juan National University) was pointed
to the GRB180703A 14975 sec after trigger
time at 2018-07-04 01:11:15 UT. On our first (180s exposure) set we
found 6 optical transient within LAT error-box (ra=6.5375 dec=-67.0894
r=0.3039) brighter then 14.7.
The observations made on zenit distance = 76 degrees, galaxy latitude b =
-50 degree.
The moon (72 % bright part) below the horizon (The altitude of the Moon is
-18 degree ).
The sun altitude is -43.1 degree.
The object can be observed till sunrise at 2018-07-04 11:36:37
